LG Unveils 2025 gram Laptops with Hybrid AI at CES

LG Electronics has unveiled its 2025 gram series of laptops at CES 2025, including the gram Pro, gram Pro 2-in-1, gram, and gram Book models. These new devices are equipped with LG's "gram AI" system, which merges on-device and cloud-based artificial intelligence. The company states this integration aims to deliver enhanced performance and personalized user experiences while maintaining the laptops' signature slim design.

The "gram AI" system is designed to provide a smarter, more secure, and highly personalized user interaction. The "gram chat On-Device" feature processes AI algorithms locally, eliminating the need for a network connection. Concurrently, "gram chat Cloud" offers access to cloud-based AI services powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o model. This hybrid approach is intended to boost productivity, offer personalized insights, and continually adapt to user needs. The cloud service is provided free for the first year.

"gram chat On-Device" utilizes a compact language model derived from LG AI Research's larger EXAONE model, enabling rapid and secure local data processing for relevant responses and simplified device management. A notable feature is "Time Travel," which allows users to quickly access previously viewed web pages, documents, and media files. The cloud-based "gram chat Cloud" leverages extensive web datasets to generate detailed answers to user queries, and it integrates calendar and email services for optimized scheduling and communication.

In terms of performance, the 2025 gram laptops are set to incorporate Intel's next-generation processors, specifically the Intel Core Ultra H-Series (Arrow Lake) and Intel Core Ultra V-Series (Lunar Lake). This combination of advanced AI capabilities and cutting-edge processor technology aims to set new benchmarks for laptop performance and user interaction.
